Quantcast



We here at Destructoid pride ourselves and being toward the bottom of the slime pit when it comes to jokes/posts/life ... whatever. And, often times, we catch other outlets either stealing our ideas or stories a few days later without any mention of the fact they got it from us -- we call those violaters Tivotoid. The latest example comes straight out of the recent issue of Game Informer. It seems the boys over there just love our site so much, they felt the need to do a small parody of Wii Balls that we suggested way back in January. Good job guys.

That's nothing. EGM has a future robot in this month's issue that has a striking resemblence to the Dtoid Mascot.

Face it. Everybody wants to be like the cool kid. Destructoid's on fire right now.

and any Gaming Magazine with the letters E or G in it's name

I guess Game pro isn't ripped you all off becuase they know that us real gamers already hate them enough.

Funny? Cutting Egde? Copied by others? Not burdened by an agenda to push fanboy hate on others? Must have been a Niero Post.

GameInformer sucks balls. Nice catch on this one Summa.

I don't have a scanner, but I'll see what I can do, Ted.

Destructoid has become so famous that everyone is trying to copy them, like what king3vbo said. I saw the today show this morning, and Al Roker was wearing a robot helmet.

Uhhh...I can't think of anyone with two spherical objects and a Wiimote that hasn't done something similar. Doesn't seem like a clear cut case of idea theft to me, more like a confirmation of the overall maturity of males.

Note: I've done this with my Wiimote too

Exactly. That's what I meant to post ^^. By the way, I see what you did there.

It's such an easy joke, it's likely they came up with it on their own.

I don't think Destructoid can lay claim to that bot design. Besides, they've used that robot before in earlier issues. It'd be as if I were accusing someone of ripping off my idea to do anime style Harry Potter fan art. So basically, every conversation on DeviantArt ever.
